Since Doug's first Playboy cartoon (September 1964), he's had over 450+ published in the magazine; 270 of these are featured in the 248-page book, a 2012 Eisner Award nominee in the Best Humor Publication category.

While Doug did a 10 x 14 portrait sketch of Sarah at Fan Expo Vancouver (April 20-21), the two talked about her career as a graphic designer/illustrator and interest in designing costumes - she was dressed as Tribbles from Star Trek.

She came back the next day dressed as The Hand of the King brooch from Game of Thrones.

Dragon*Con in Atlanta - scheduled August 30-September 2, 2013 - is known for its contests, promotions, parades, pageants and parties; check back here later for info as there may be an unofficial bunny-themed party during the 4-day event.

Doug's 10 x 14 and 11 x 17 portrait sketches are always popular with convention attendees, like Morgan (from Sarasota, FL) - a sophomore studying illustration at the Ringling College of Art and Design.

In addition to selling original artwork, limited edition prints and sketchbooks at comics-cartoon conventions, Doug does commissions in both The Art of Doug Sneyd, published by Dark Horse Books and featuring 270 of his 450+ Playboy cartoons, and Unpublished Sneyd. Attendees also have him do commissioned portrait sketches.

Jaime (from Tampa, FL) thought her fiance Jonathan would enjoy a personalized copy of The Art of Doug Sneyd.

Doug also did a sketchbook cover commission for Chris during the 3-day Orlando convention.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Bio

Doug has been a cartoonist for Playboy magazine since 1964.
For nearly 20 years, starting in the mid-60's, his "Doug Sneyd" and "Scoops" news cartoons appeared daily in newspapers across North America. Sneyd's talent has also led him into cinema: in 1993, he wrote, produced and directed "Black-eyed Susan," an educational movie-drama about spousal abuse, for the Ontario government. He was a founding member of the Canadian Society of Book Illustrators and has been a member of the National Cartoonists' Society and the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Thirty of his full-page color Playboy cartoons are among the 235 Sneyd works included in the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa.
Sneyd was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, but spent much of his professional career in Toronto. In 1969 he moved his family north to Orillia made famous as the mythical "Mariposa" by humorist Stephen Leacock. He works on the third floor of his home-studio overlooking beautiful Lake Couchiching and spends his winters on the Gulf Coast in Orange Beach, Alabama.
